 The clouds part and the smell of daffodils and daisies fill the air when you are around. Your sunny disposition cheers most, and makes others (the jealous and bitter ones) wish you'd never gotten out of bed.

But really... 'You feel like your stuck' - tut tut tut. Someone didn't pass their 11+ and go to a good *grammar* school (please note clever pun) did they?
(stuck in the 70's see? They got me bang to rights and no mistake.)
chelseagirl47 | You scored as DCI Sam Tyler, You are Sam Tyler. You feel like your stuck in the wrong time, and whilst trying to find a way home, you make the best out of it. At least there's cool clothes, music and pubs!

Finger of my soul... (o:
| You Are a Ring Finger |
 You are romantic, expressive, and hopeful. You see the best in everything. You are very artistic, and you see the world as your canvas. You are also drawn to the written word. Inventive and unique, you are often away in your own inner world. You get along well with: The Pinky Stay away from: The Index Finger |
Now this, I like...

Open the Word doc of your fic. Click AutoSummarise (on the tools menu), when it has autosumarised tell it to put the output in a new document and that you want the summary to be 100 words or less. The shorter the fic the more coherent sense the summary will make, but the long ones are funnier.

My Life and other disasters.
Hey ho... I am SO trying to catch up with life at the moment and it keeps getting away from me.
So what's new, chez Gilly you may ask yourself? Well, nothing much, sadly... I just spent the last three days tiling my parents kitchen; tiled like a loony I have, but ran out of tiles, so no more tiling till next visit (since I bought them in Chorley). Oh dear what a shame. Cut my finger rather badly hacking the old tiles off too; bled like a bastard. )o:
But I've been making writery progress; been hauling my fat arse out of bed at six to write my book which is (if I can keep to the very slack schedule I've set myself) due to be finished next Saturday. I'll be sending out the traditional begging email to my agent this week and keeping my fingers crossed.
My fic writing activities have been a bit neglected as a result, but I'm hoping to press on with those over the next few days. And I need to do some serious re-writing on the last bit of my Moonridge fic if the comment from my worthy betas is anything to go by. Hey ho...
Of course, I'd've got a LOT more work done today if I hadn't just spent TWO HOURS reading an old fic. Linda, who runs the Pete Duel Site emailed to say the new fic page was now live; I moseyed over to look and ended up getting very involved in The Gift, a fic I wrote some years ago. It wasn't half bad, either. Damn, I'm good! <VBG>
And it seems...
Such is my life. How about the rest of you? I hope all's well with your world, my estimable flist. If I owe you emails and/or comment, I might finally get around to you sometime today.
Anyway, back to twinkling like the Milky Way...

You have a sunny disposition and are normally one of the first to show up for the party. You don't need too much attention from the host once you get there as you are more than capable of making yourself seen and heard.
Heh heh... Well that's so true... ::whistles, examines fingernails::

Blaired from the gorgeous orion2303: 100 Things You Should Do In Your Life. Sez who? I have no idea, but it looks like a good way to amuse myself for ten minutes while I put off the inevitable work-out for a little longer.

Another cool meme to play with
Purloined from janedavitt (like the filthy footpad I know I am)...
janedavitt (like the filthy footpad I know I am)...Go to page 123 (or 23 or 3 if it hasn't got that far yet) of your current WiP. Read down four sentences. Type out the paragraph that follows.
Well I have 2 on the go at the moment, one at 18 pages so far, the other a mere 4 and a half.
From the longer one, I find;
"I flirted with my son’s partner because it’s what I do. Jim was a little bemused by me, I could see that and I had fun teasing him. I couldn’t resist; he seemed so straight, so whitebread, so entirely wrong as a companion for my Blair. How wrong I was about that – about a lot of things. I had no idea, then, that he would ask about my deepest, darkest secret, or that I would end up confessing it to him. Even now, I don’t really know why I told him, a man I’d only just met. Sometimes you just have to go with your instincts, and Jim seemed so solid, so trustworthy, so safe.
Hmmmm.
From the shorter one;
"We both know that’s not true, Chief. Don’t feel you have to be stronger than you are.”
Well that's illuminating! (hee!)
I'm really enjoying both of these. #1 - I already know where that's going to go and it's an interesting concept, with lots of 1st person, but I'm not anticipating anything unexpected. I'm getting much more fun out of #2, which I only started today - 2,000 words in and it's already surprised me by taking a turn I hadn't planned. And I can't help but feel it's going to be very, very long.
Your turn to play...
Meme me a good one.

One last little meme...
Before I have to commence with the rough stuff; you know, walking into town for last minute stuff, making my Christmas card to my family, defrosting pastry for veggie sausage rolls, ringing the bloody Corgi man because the central heating's broken down, on the weekend, TWO BLOODY DAYS BEFORE *** CHRISTMAS!!!!
